Test if create_vdp_decoder() might succeed by calling it from config() with a small value for max_reference_frames. This does not make automatic recovery by using software decoder possible, but lets MPlayer fail more graciously on - actually existing - buggy hardware that does not support certain H264 widths when using hardware accelerated decoding (784, 864, 944, 1024, 1808, 1888 pixels on NVIDIA G98) and if the user tries to hardware-decode more samples at the same time than supported. Might break playback of H264 Intra-Only samples on hardware with very little video memory.

MPlayer Windows GUI (c)
2003 Sascha Sommer - <saschasommer@freenet.de>
2006 Erik Augustson - <erik_27can@yahoo.com>
2006 Gianluigi Tiesi - <sherpya@netfarm.it>

This beta GUI for Windows was originally written by Sascha Sommer and
has since been heavily modified by myself (Erik Augustson) and Gianluigi
Tiesi. It follows the same concept as the Linux GUI, and should be able
to load all (or at least most) of the current skins available for the
Linux GUI.

To compile, quite simply pass --enable-gui to configure, and it is highly
recommended to also pass --enable-static="-mwindows" to link mplayer as
a Windows binary. NOTE: This will also link mencoder with -mwindows
and thus link mencoder as a Windows binary as well.

To enable use of the GUI, mplayer.exe must be renamed / copied to
gmplayer.exe.
